According to TrendForce’s analysis of the supply chain for display panels, demand slowed dramatically in 2Q22 and thereby caused inventory level to rise sharply for display driver ICs (DDIs) within a short period. However, the market for DDIs is in a notably better state now in 1Q23 following two to three quarters of price decline, reduction in wafer input, and inventory consumption. Moreover, the first quarter is the critical period when DDI suppliers set their wafer input quantities. In order to effectively meet the demand for 2H23, DDI suppliers will need to finish arranging orders with their foundry partners by the end of 1Q23.

LAPIS Technology"s display drivers realize uniform and fast pixel charging for 8K 120Hz, 75-inch, and larger panels with the unique technology of panel load charging.
Gaming monitors require a higher refresh rate *1 in order to display video smoothly.The higher the refresh rate, the shorter the time required to write the display data.
LAPIS Technology"s display drivers use high-speed point-to-point interface technology *2 (4Gbps), which enables large amounts of display data transfer in a short time.Our products have been used in many panels with high refresh rates such as 360Hz.
In automotive display, it is needed to ensure automotive quality, reduce the number of signal and power wires, and provide long-distance wiring.We will meet these needs with a unique point-to-point interface that reduces wiring number and enables long-distance transmission, as well as an anomaly detection function to ensure automotive quality.
In this Arduino touch screen tutorial we will learn how to use TFT LCD Touch Screen with Arduino. You can watch the following video or read the written tutorial below.
As an example I am using a 3.2” TFT Touch Screen in a combination with a TFT LCD Arduino Mega Shield. We need a shield because the TFT Touch screen works at 3.3V and the Arduino Mega outputs are 5 V. For the first example I have the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, then for the second example an RGB LED with three resistors and a push button for the game example. Also I had to make a custom made pin header like this, by soldering pin headers and bend on of them so I could insert them in between the Arduino Board and the TFT Shield.
Here’s the circuit schematic. We will use the GND pin, the digital pins from 8 to 13, as well as the pin number 14. As the 5V pins are already used by the TFT Screen I will use the pin number 13 as VCC, by setting it right away high in the setup section of code.
I will use the UTFT and URTouch libraries made by Henning Karlsen. Here I would like to say thanks to him for the incredible work he has done. The libraries enable really easy use of the TFT Screens, and they work with many different TFT screens sizes, shields and controllers. You can download these libraries from his website, RinkyDinkElectronics.com and also find a lot of demo examples and detailed documentation of how to use them.
After we include the libraries we need to create UTFT and URTouch objects. The parameters of these objects depends on the model of the TFT Screen and Shield and these details can be also found in the documentation of the libraries.
So now I will explain how we can make the home screen of the program. With the setBackColor() function we need to set the background color of the text, black one in our case. Then we need to set the color to white, set the big font and using the print() function, we will print the string “Arduino TFT Tutorial” at the center of the screen and 10 pixels down the Y – Axis of the screen. Next we will set the color to red and draw the red line below the text. After that we need to set the color back to white, and print the two other strings, “by HowToMechatronics.com” using the small font and “Select Example” using the big font.
TFT stands for "thin-film transistor" and it is a type of technology used by LCD (liquid crystal display) screens. Older LCD screens used a type of display called "passive" and they were plagued with ghosting and slow refresh rates. "Active" technology using thin-film transistors makes for brighter and faster screens, so all current color LCD displays use TFT technology.
Plasma is another display technology that competes with LCD. Plasma technology works by exciting pixels with a plasma discharge between two glass plates. It is fairly exotic technology and it can produce exceptionally pleasing pictures. That"s why plasma screens are generally more expensive than LCD.
Plasma technology consists hundreds of thousands of individual pixel cells, which allow electric pulses (stemming from electrodes) to excite rare natural gases-usually xenon and neon-causing them to glow and produce light. This light illuminates the proper balance of red, green, or blue phosphors contained in each cell to display the proper color sequence from the light. Each pixel cell is essentially an individual microscopic florescent light bulb, receiving instruction from software contained on the rear electrostatic silicon board. Look very closely at a plasma TV and you can actually see the individual pixel cell coloration of red, green, and blue bars. You can also see the black ribs which separate each.
Whether spread across a flat-panel screen or placed in the heart of a projector, all LCD displays come from the same technological background. A matrix of thin-film transistors (TFTs) supplies voltage to liquid-crystal-filled cells sandwiched between two sheets of glass. When hit with an electrical charge, the crystals untwist to an exact degree to filter white light generated by a lamp behind the screen (for flat-panel TVs) or one projecting through a small LCD chip (for projection TVs). LCD TVs reproduce colors through a process of subtraction: They block out particular color wavelengths from the spectrum of white light until they"re left with just the right color. And, it"s the intensity of light permitted to pass through this liquid-crystal matrix that enables LCD televisions to display images chock-full of colors-or gradations of them.
TFT Glass has as many TFTs as the number of pixels displayed, while a Color Filter Glass has color filter which generates color. Liquid crystals move according to the difference in voltage between the Color Filter Glass and the TFT Glass. The amount of light supplied by Back Light is determined by the amount of movement of the liquid crystals in such a way as to generate color.
The most common liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) in use today rely on picture elements, or pixels, formed by liquid-crystal (LC) cells that change the polarization direction of light passing through them in response to an electrical voltage.
As the polarization direction changes, more or less of the light is able to pass through a polarizing layer on the face of the display. Change the voltage, and the amount of light is changed.
The segment drive method is used for simple displays, such as those in calculators, while the dot-matrix drive method is used for high-resolution displays, such as those in portable computers and TFT monitors.
Two types of drive method are used for matrix displays. In the static, or direct, drive method, each pixel is individually wired to a driver. This is a simple driving method, but, as the number of pixels is increased, the wiring becomes very complex. An alternative method is the multiplex drive method, in which the pixels are arranged and wired in a matrix format.
The active addressing removes the multiplexing limitations by incorporating an active switching element. In contrast to passive-matrix LCDs, AMLCDs have no inherent limitation in the number of scan lines, and they present fewer cross-talk issues. There are many kinds of AMLCD. For their integrated switching devices most use transistors made of deposited thin films, which are therefore called thin-film transistors (TFTs).
An alternative TFT technology, polycrystalline silicon - or polysilicon or p-Si-is costly to produce and especially difficult to fabricate when manufacturing large-area displays.
Nearly all TFT LCDs are made from a-Si because of the technology"s economy and maturity, but the electron mobility of a p-Si TFT is one or two orders of magnitude greater than that of an a-Si TFT.
This makes the p-Si TFT a good candidate for an TFT array containing integrated drivers, which is likely to be an attractive choice for small, high definition displays such as view finders and projection displays.
The TFT-array substrate contains the TFTs, storage capacitors, pixel electrodes, and interconnect wiring. The color filter contains the black matrix and resin film containing three primary-color - red, green, and blue - dyes or pigments. The two glass substrates are assembled with a sealant, the gap between them is maintained by spacers, and LC material is injected into the gap between the substrates. Two sheets of polarizer film are attached to the outer faces of the sandwich formed by the glass substrates. A set of bonding pads are fabricated on each end of the gate and data-signal bus-lines to attach LCD Driver IC (LDI) chips
To reduce the footprint of the LCD module, the drive circuit unit can be placed on the backside of the LCD module by using bent Tape Carrier Packages (TCPs) and a tapered light-guide panel (LGP).
The performance of the TFT LCD is related to the design parameters of the unit pixel, i.e., the channel width W and the channel length L of the TFT, the overlap between TFT electrodes, the sizes of the storage capacitor and pixel electrode, and the space between these elements.
In a TFT LCD"s unit pixel, the liquid crystal layer on the ITO pixel electrode forms a capacitor whose counter electrode is the common electrode on the color-filter substrate.
Applying a positive pulse of about 20V peak-to-peak to a gate electrode through a gate bus-line turns the TFT on. Clc and Cs are charged and the voltage level on the pixel electrode rises to the signal voltage level (+8 V) applied to the data bus-line.
The voltage on the pixel electrode is subjected to a level shift of DV resulting from a parasitic capacitance between the gate and drain electrodes when the gate voltage turns from the ON to OFF state. After the level shift, this charged state can be maintained as the gate voltage goes to -5 V, at which time the TFT turns off. The main function of the Cs is to maintain the voltage on the pixel electrode until the next signal voltage is applied.
The digital LDI produces discrete voltage amplitudes, which permits on a discrete numbers of shades to be displayed. The number of gray levels is determined by the number of data bits produced by the digital driver.
The color filter of a TFT LCD TV consists of three primary colors - red (R), green (G), and blue (B) - which are included on the color-filter substrate.

This is a small graphics library, specifically aimed at ATtiny microcontrollers, for the variety of small colour TFT displays available at low cost from suppliers like Adafruit, AliExpress, or Banggood:
It"s an updated version of my Tiny TFT Graphics Library. This latest version of the library supports both the classic ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny85, and the new 0-series, 1-series, and 2-series ATtiny processors, such as the ATtiny402. Like the original library it allows you to plot points, draw lines, draw filled rectangles, and plot characters and text with an optional scale factor, in 16-bit colour.
This version adds the ability to plot outline rectanges, and outline and filled circles. I"ve included demo curve-plotting and histogram-plotting programs that adjust to fit any display.
This library supports TFT displays that use an SPI interface and require four pins to drive the display. This leaves one pin free on an 8-pin chip such as the ATtiny85 or ATtiny402. If you need more pins choose a larger chip, such as the ATtiny84 or ATtiny404.
Unlike my Compact TFT Graphics Library which uses standard Arduino SPI calls, this library uses direct I/O pin manipulations. This means that you can use any assignment of pins to the four I/O lines needed by the display, and makes it about twice as fast as one using SPI calls. I"ve also added support for some additional displays, so it now supports 16 different TFT displays.
So provided you set all the pins to their disabled state at startup, the display routines can simply toggle the appropriate pins to enable or disable them.
The differences between each family of processors are handled by constants to define the pin assignments, and preprocessor macros to define the bit manipulations. If you use the circuits given below you won"t need to change anything, apart from specifying which display you"re using.
The ClearDisplay() routine has been optimised further by realising that we don"t need to keep setting the mosi bit, since to clear the display it is always zero, so the routine only needs to toggle the sck bit the appropriate number of times. I"m grateful to Thomas Scherer for suggesting this.
This library will work with displays based on the ST7735 which supports a maximum display size of 162x132, or the ST7789 and ILI9340/1 which support a maximum display size of 320x240. It includes parameters for the following colour TFT displays:
* These Adafruit displays conveniently all have the same edge-connector layout, so you can make a prototyping board or PCB that will take any of them, such as my Universal TFT Display Backpack.
Some of the AliExpress displays include a LDO 3.3V regulator, but not logic-level translation, so I recommend only interfacing them to a processor running from 3.3V.
The Adafruit displays all include an LDO 3.3V regulator and logic-level translation, so can be safely interfaced to processors powered from either 5V or 3.3V.
On the AliExpress red 160x128 display you need to connect the backlight pin to Vcc to turn it on. This doesn"t seem to be necessary with the other displays.
The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same ST7735, ST7789, ILI9340/1 driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.
The display needs to be connected to the microcontroller via four I/O lines: MOSI, SCK, CS, and DC. You can use any pins for these, but they should all be in the same port. You need to specify the port pin numbers of the pins you are using at the start of the Tiny TFT Graphics Library listing.
The 33kΩ pullup resistor from the display"s CS pin is optional; it is only needed on the AliExpress displays, and holds the chip select high to prevent the display from flickering while programming the ATtiny85.
The different displays are catered for by seven constants which specify the size of the display, the offsets relative to the area supported by the display driver, whether the display is inverted, the rotation value, and the order of the colours; for example:
By default the parameters give the correct orientation assuming you"re using the display with the header pins along the top, except in the case of the larger displays which have the header pins along the shorter edge, in which case the header pins are assumed to be on the left.
To check or adjust the values for each display you can run the TestChart() program, which draws a one-pixel border around the display area, and plots a red "F" to show the orientation:
The library will probably support other TFT displays that use the same driver chips, but you may need to experiment with the parameters to get the image scaled and centered correctly.
The library includes basic graphics routines for plotting points and drawing lines. These work on a conventional coordinate system with the origin at lower left. For example, on the 80x160 display:
Note the video above was made showing the MicroPython version of this library. Follow the guide to see both CircuitPython and MicroPython versions of the ILI9341 library.
Small TFT displays are a great way to add graphics to your projects. These are like tiny little LCD monitors that you can drive with a simple SPI serial interface. You can even use these displays in CircuitPython and MicroPython using a module from Adafruit! This module allows you to do basic drawing like putting pixels and filling rectangles on TFT displays like the TFT FeatherWing. You can start to explore a fun world of Python and graphical TFT displays!
This guide explores how to use ILI9341/ILI9340 TFT displays with CircuitPython and MicroPython. Note that right now drawing support for these displays is limited to basic pixel and rectangle drawing commands. You can use another library to draw basic graphics or to draw text. In addition, the touchscreens commonly found on these small TFT displays are not currently supported by the Python module. In the future, a touchscreen module might be available, but for now these displays are only for viewing graphics.
If your board doesn"t come with CircuitPython running on it already then check out your board"s guide for how to load CircuitPython firmware. For example the Feather M0 express guide is a good reference.
If you"re using a Feather the TFT FeatherWing is the perfect option that easily connects to the Feather. For other boards, you"ll need an ILI9341 or ILI9340 display breakout, like this large 2.8" TFT display breakout. ILI9340 displays like the 2.2" TFT breakout or 2.4" TFT breakout should work too. Make sure the display you"re using has the ILI9341 or ILI9340 driver chip!
If you"re using a TFT FeatherWing and Feather just slide the wing onto the Feather board and you"re all set! The FeatherWing will automatically be connected to the board using its SPI connection.
If you"re using a TFT display breakout you"ll need to connect its power, ground, and SPI connections to the board. For example, the wiring for a 2.8" TFT breakout to Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 might look like:
Display 3.3V output to IM3, IM2, and IM1 (but not IM0!) pins. This configures the breakout to use its SPI interface. See the breakout guide for details on soldering closed these connections to make the SPI interface the default.
To use the TFT display with your Adafruit CircuitPython board you"ll need to install the Adafruit_CircuitPython_RGB_Display module on your board. Remember this module is for Adafruit CircuitPython firmware and not MicroPython.org firmware!
For express boards that have extra flash storage, like the Feather/Metro M0 express and Circuit Playground express, you can easily install the necessary libraries with Adafruit"s CircuitPython bundle. This is an all-in-one package that includes the necessary libraries to use the ILI9341 display with CircuitPython. To install the bundle follow the steps in your board"s guide.
Furthermore, CircuitPython for M0 boards after version 0.8.1 do not have the framebuf module built in to save flash space. So, please download and install the pure Python implementation of framebuf and copy it to lib folder of the board as well.
Before continuing, make sure your board"s root filesystem has the adafruit_rgb_display, adafruit_bus_device, and adafruit_register folders/modules copied over.
The following section will show how to control the LED backpack from the board"s Python prompt / REPL. You"ll walk through how to control the TFT display and learn how to use the CircuitPython module built for the display. As a reference, be sure to see the micropython-adafruit-rgb-display module documentation too.
On CircuitPython the SPI bus must be initialized before the display can be used by your code. Run the following code to import the necessary modules and initialize the SPI bus:
These lines create the SPI bus interface and two digital inputs/outputs for the chip select and data/command lines connected to the display. Notice that the pin numbers might be different depending on your board and how it"s wired. Read the comments above and pick the correct two cs and dc lines to run for your setup.
When creating the display instance of the ILI9341 class you"ll need to know which pins are connected to the display"s CS, DC, and optionally RST or reset line. For the TFT FeatherWing see its guide for details on these pin connections.
The CS and DC parameters to the ILI9341 class initializer are required and should be a pin from the board module. In CircuitPython they are DigitalInOut objects instead of pins directly (like GPIO0) so that other types of GPIO can be used such as GPIO expanders.
Once the display is initialized you"re ready to perform basic fill and pixel drawing. First to fill the display with a solid color use the fill function:
Notice how the color565 function is called to get a color that"s passed to the fill function. This color565 function takes in the red, green, and blue color component values which should range from 0 (lowest intensity) to 255 (highest intensity). Try filling the display with different color values!
That"s all there is to drawing on the ILI9341 display with CircuitPython! Right now, only basic fill, pixel, and filled rectangle drawing commands are supported. However, since this is a pixel-based display you can also draw text with the bitmap font library. There"s even a basic graphics library to draw lines and other shapes!
Note this page describes how to use a MicroPython.org version of this library with MicroPython boards. Skip back to the previous page if you"re using a CircuitPython board like the Feather M0 express!
In addition to CircuitPython, there"s an older MicroPython version of the TFT library that you can use with some MicroPython boards. Before you get started it will help to be familiar with these guides for working with MicroPython:
To use the TFT display with your MicroPython board you"ll need to install the micropython-adafruit-rgb-display MicroPython module on your board. Remember this module is for MicroPython.org firmware and not Adafruit CircuitPython!
The following section will show how to control the ILI9341 display from the board"s Python prompt / REPL. First connect to the board"s serial REPL so you are at the MicroPython >>> prompt.
On MicroPython.org firmware which uses the machine API you can initialize SPI like the MicroPython SPI guide mentions. For example, on the ESP8266 with TFT FeatherWing you can run:
Notice how the baudrate is specifying the SPI bus clock speed at 32mhz. This means pixel data will be sent very quickly to the display--much quicker than a software SPI interface. These displays can actually run up to about 64mhz but the ESP8266 SPI hardware can"t support that fast of a speed!
When creating the display instance of the ILI9341 class you"ll need to know which pins are connected to the display"s CS, DC, and optionally RST or reset line. For the TFT FeatherWing see its guide for details on these pin connections.
After initializing SPI and the display you"re ready to start drawing on it. The usage of the drawing library is exactly the same as with CircuitPython so check out the CircuitPython drawing information--the same code will work on MicroPython too!
